Inappropriate mode switch consecutive to P-wave double counting

Europace. 2011 Dec;13(12):1795-6. doi: 10.1093/europace/eur175. Epub 2011 Jun 28.

Abstract

We report a case of multiple inappropriate mode switches in a patient with a dual-chamber pacemaker, resulting from P-wave double counting due to a double potential on the atrial electrogram. The differential diagnosis of this rarely reported phenomenon is discussed.
